True, but college students discovering late night comedy hosts is a continuing process and he was on "Late Night" for sixteen years. The college students (like me) who first started watching regularly at the midpoint of his run on "Late Night" were in grade school when the events of The Late Shift took place. (I remember when Letterman switched networks, but knew nothing about the causes until I was much older.) I know of at least one person who is now in college who was introduced to the comedy of Conan O'Brien by his parents. -- David J. Lynch [email protected] -- TV or Not TV ....
